That about sums me up! I actually eat chicken nuggets, but only to get the toy that comes with my Happy Meal! 😉
That's odd, I didn't read advantageous from his post. Ancient Roman culture was destroyed from within. I wonder if being short***** has something to do with it.
I don't know about your neck of the woods but here in America, people have the freedom to grow whichever flowers they want.
I guess you didn't read the part when he mentioned "you are incorrect" and "obtuse".
Interesting. I've heard that northern Chinese are generally taller than southern Chinese because there is more meat in typical northern Chinese cuisine.
What follows is a provocative random collection of quotes from around the place...
The largest Homo sapiens lived 20,000 to 30,000 years ago with an average weight between 176 and 188 pounds and a brain size of 1,500 cubic centimeters.
Researchers believe the reduction in stature can be connected to a change from the hunter-gatherer way of life to that of agriculture which began some 9,000 years ago.
Up until about 12,000 years ago, humans had what one of the study’s lead authors called “an almost ‘perfect harmony’ between their lower jaws and teeth."
The big change, scientists say, came from civilization’s transition from hunter-gatherers to farmers.
Modern humans are about 10 percent smaller and shorter than our hunter-gatherer ancestors, scientists have found, and our brains have fallen in size by the same proportion.
So while taller may or may not indicate health and/or life span, having a smaller brain isn't something to be desired.
When reading internet forums about audio cable burn-in effect, one would believe that wholeheartedly. 😀
Is there any fact-checking going on in this thread? Just finding something repeated elsewhere doesn't count..
Chickens for meat are not raised in cages.Never have been.They are run together in barns or are free range/barns.
It did mine. I chose not to have a pet, although there might have been some that were OK. Mostly I didn't fancy the idea of living with a carnivore and having to feed it.
But now that I'm a vegetarian who eats fish from time to time, we have cats. But they don't like meat, just fish and cheese. Weird.
They probably just like to eat what you do...my cat would snatch at anything I was eating and eat it too 🙂
I had a rabbit that ate boiled sweets and chicken

Sounds like you are volunteering. I'd lend you my time machine, but it's broken.
😀 I remember watching a documentary about the Pitcairn Islands and the presenter was talking to one of the inhabitants about the history of the Bounty, at the end of his monologue he asked for her thoughts and she said "I don't know I wasn't there" it was brilliant, amazed they left it in, the producer must have had it in for him 😉
Only for the better half of our population. That study concludes "Height was significantly positively associated with risk of all cancers" in post-menopausal women . Then this "article" goes on to tell us that we shouldn't mistake causation with correlation, thereby invalidating itself.
Other anecdotal correlations are also invalidated. Taller soldiers etc etc.
Here is a good example. Ice cream sales correlate with pool drownings. Does ice cream cause pool drownings? No, we understand that there these are both correlated to a different thing (hot weather). We don't have this sort of understanding of the processes in the human body yet. We are getting there, but silliness like the above doesn't help much.
From that article, "Japanese people who reach 100 are 4 inches shorter, on average, than those who are 75." It's a fact that we get shorter (shrink) as we age. I wonder if they counted that factor when measuring heights of those that are 25 years older. If they did, I wonder what the method was.
Not only that, they compared people of different height from different nations (different diet, climate & lifestyle).
Seems like that article was written by a modern human in the leading edge of evolution.
